I've been banging my head on this one for a while. I think I've narrowed the problem down but I'm having trouble getting past this point. I had Ubuntu 6 installed until just recently and my wireless was a bit flaky but it was working. Since I've upgraded to Ubuntu 7 I can't get it to work. The computer seems to "see" the wireless broadcast. When I do `dmesg` it gives me:
ipw2200: Detected Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection ipw2200: Detected geography ZZM (11 802.11bg channels, 0 802.11a channels) but then it gives me: eth1: no IPv6 routers present I think this may be the problem but I'm not sure. The reason I think it sees the wireless connection is also because the GUI tool also seems to see the connection. I'm not exactly sure how much of these messages is that the computer sees the card on my machine. My router/modem is an Actiontec supplied by Qwest. So, what do these messages mean and are there any ideas on how I might proceed? I'm thinking it may be the software on Qwest's side. There's apparently an update for the modem but it apparently only comes in .exe flavor. I think I might still be able to fix things on my end but I'm not sure. I did get a ping to work last night but then when I tried to duplicate the process it failed. Thanks.
